"In that person's eyes, our Taifu Mansion and my grandfather's Zhenguo Dajiangjun Mansion are on the same boat. The reason why the Second Prince came to ask to marry me today is better to say that he came for the power behind our two mansions."

"With the Second Prince's unyielding character, there's no way he can hide from us. It's better for us to choose someone ourselves!"

Yu Boyuan and Yu Xiangchun looked at each other, then turned their gazes to Yu Menghua with a complicated and distressed feeling.

"Hua'er, you chose the fourth prince?!" After all, Yu Boyuan is an old tutor who has experienced two dynasties. He will not just look at the surface when looking at a problem.

"Hua'er, you must know that although the Fourth Prince is the Empress's legitimate son, the Empress does not enjoy the Emperor's favor. Furthermore, the Empress Dowager..." Yu Boyuan sighed. There were too many twists and turns here. He really didn't want his little granddaughter to get involved in the royal family.

Yu Menghua said with a firm look in her eyes: "Grandfather, I have considered everything you said. With my status, no matter which man in Fengdu City I marry, he will not feel at ease."

"Besides, my granddaughter doesn't want to let an ambitious man's career as an official in the court be cut off because of me..." The whole family understood the meaning of Yu Menghua's words.

Even if she were to marry a penniless scholar right now, if the second prince insisted on marrying her for the sake of the power of the two mansions, the scholar might lose his life because of Hua'er.

But those who are of equal status

Yu Menghua pursed her lips and said, "Since we can't eliminate all potential threats, why not choose the person who is most beneficial to us and push him to the highest position!"

Yu Menghua's idea was agreed by Yu Boyuan and others, but they all felt that choosing the empress's legitimate son to ascend to a high position would not be of much benefit to the Yu family and the General's Mansion.

Although Emperor Shen has been indifferent to Empress Shen for many years, as long as the Shen family, the Fourth Prince's maternal family, remains powerful, the support of these two families can only be icing on the cake.

If the dog emperor had not been afraid of the Shen family's power, with his petty and suspicious character, he would have deposed the queen long ago!

Even if the Queen was not deposed because of fear of the power of Shen's royal family, it was not easy for Queen Shen to live in the palace for so many years, otherwise Feng Qixin would not have allowed the Queen Mother to compete with her...

"Hua'er, the Fourth Prince is the legitimate son of the Empress after all, and his maternal family is quite powerful. Even if we don't choose him, he is the most likely inheritor of that position in the future..." Yu Jizhen said helplessly.

Yu Menghua raised her eyebrows, "Big Brother, Hua'er has considered all you said, but among these adult princes, except for the fourth prince who has the most outstanding character and will not burn bridges after the matter is accomplished, do we dare to bet on the others?"

I have to say that what Yu Menghua said is true.

The room fell silent again. After a while, Yu Boyuan glanced at everyone and made a decision: "Okay, since we can't retreat now, let's discuss it in the long run. I will meet with my in-laws tomorrow first."

"Have a meal!"

……

Half a month later, no one knew how Feng Chengyin got the imperial decree of marriage from the dog emperor, and he ran to the Taifu Mansion with a look of joy and excitement on his face.

Yu Boyuan, Liu Zhenyuan and Yu Xianglang and his wife had obviously received the news in advance. They were all sitting upright in the main hall today as if they were waiting for someone.

"Xiang Chun, are you sure that brat was talking about today?" Liu Zhenyuan's mood has calmed down after the transition in the past few days.

I still remember what the family said when Old Yu sent someone to invite him over a while ago...

Liu Zhenyuan went from being angry at first to being helpless, and then to feeling heartbroken for his own beloved granddaughter, because he knew that the things everyone was worried about and the things they said were all true.

It was just a pity for his lovely granddaughter, as she, a young girl who had just come of age, had to be involved in the royal struggle for the safety of her family.

When Yu Xiangchun was asked by his father-in-law, he was a little uncertain for a moment, then he remembered the note that the man had slipped to him, and immediately took it out and read it again.

"This note says these few days..."

Liu Zhenyuan choked, and Yu Boyuan looked speechless. The scene that just happened had been happening in the Yu family for three days.

Liu Qingshuang also twitched her lips, and asked her husband helplessly: "Husband, are you sure that person is the Fourth Prince's man?"

Liu Xiangchun was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still nodded affirmatively, "Yes! I have seen that man once beside the Fourth Prince. He should be the Fourth Prince's secret guard."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this. The fact that Yu Xiangchun could hold the position of Taifu, one of the Three Dukes, at such a young age was not only because he was well-read, talented in writing, and had an extraordinary mind since childhood.

It is also because he has had the ability to remember everything he has seen since he was a child. He can remember everything he has seen, whether it is the books or ancient texts he has read, or the people and things he has met.

Therefore, when it comes to identifying people, no one will doubt him.

"Old Master, Master and Madam, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has brought Eunuch Chengshou to read the imperial edict!" The servants hurried to the main hall to inform everyone.

"Hahaha! Here it comes, here it comes!" Liu Zhenyuan laughed and stood up immediately.

Yu Xiangchun and others also stood up from their seats and looked outside the house. They saw the Fourth Prince Feng Chengyin walking in square steps, and his figure as straight as a pine tree came into everyone's sight.

Eunuch Chengshou's old face was full of smiles. When he saw the Yu family and Liu Zhenyuan, he immediately began to congratulate them, "Great congratulations, Grand Tutor, Old Grand Tutor, Old General!"

"The Emperor has just granted the marriage decree to the eldest lady of the mansion and His Highness the Fourth Prince. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Gou Qingshuang immediately signaled the maid to serve tea to the Fourth Prince and Eunuch Chengshou first, and said with a smile on her face, "Siqin, hurry up and serve tea to the Fourth Prince and Eunuch Cheng first to cool down the heat."

Although Eunuch Chengshou was a servant in front of the palace, he was also a servant in front of Feng Chengyin. The people in the Taifu Mansion were polite, but he could not be tactful.

Feng Chengyin sat down first, took a good look at the expression on Eunuch Chengshou's face, and said with a light cough, "Eunuch Cheng has always served the emperor wholeheartedly. It is also a pity for Eunuch Cheng to make this trip to announce the decree today."

"Eunuch Cheng, please have some tea and take a rest first. There is no rush for the rice paper."

When Eunuch Chengshou heard the Fourth Prince's words, his smile became even more genuine. He kept saying, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? It is my great honor to serve His Majesty."

"But it is indeed hot today. The old servant has the audacity to bother Lord Yu and ask Madam Yu for a cup of tea to quench her thirst."

Eunuch Chengshou knew that the Fourth Prince and the others were giving face to an old servant like him, but who wouldn't want to hear nice words? He naturally wouldn't take advantage of it, and he had to accept the face given by others...
